Default Does your S/O work out too?
It's pretty obvious that if you're a member of a bb board that you spend some time in the gym. I was just wondering if other people's significant others work out as well.

My g/f works out casually when it's convenient. If anything comes up though her workouts cease, although she works out regularly when things aren't hectic.

My guy does hit the gym but he is not as consistent as I am..he works a lot..not sure if thats good or bad...he's kinda lucky though cause he has a natural BB build so if he was consistent he would get really huge...lol

When I start flexing he always has to compare his to mine...like there is a competiton or something.... LOL

i don't have a significant other =[, but if i did i would prefer it if they enjoyed being active. lifting would be a plus, it'll give us extra to talk about

oh, and i was the one who voted for the fatties =]. can't discriminate =]

The one I used to date goes to the gym but mostly does cardio. The one I am dating now goes to the gym once or twice a week on a good week. When I told her I go 3-4 times a week her eyes just about bugged out.

I am married and my wife does not workout and has "become" a fattie! I enjoy breathing too much to comment on this change in our relationship.

Yikes bro! You better hope she isn't lurking around this forum somewhere...

It is for that very reason that I haven't posted on the stripper thread...

bahaa! TRAZ! She does not know about this forum nor does she know about the Martial Arts forum. I don't hide them, she just does not have any interest in this!

After trying to get me to quit the gym he eventually joined only to make it there only about 3 times before he quit. Not his scene and he told me he felt uncomfortable training near me.

I think that if your lifestyles are too disparate you may face a compatibility issue.

Fatty + Fitty != HAPPY
Fatty + Fatty == HAPPY
Fitty + Fitty == HAPPY

2 g/fs ago she worked out like maybe 2x / week on a good week and maybe some yoga here and there and didn't eat balanced meals.

Well, we end up moving in together and just through eating meals w/ me she lost 10+ lbs and she was probably 125 lbs to start w/. Then she started running with me. She improved her physique greatly. Alls it really took was an invite from me to hit train together and her wanting to do something together.

It's too bad I was an ass near the end and necessitated a breakup. Great girl.

Ah, are you 'that' intimidating or does he have self-esteem issues as my S/O has? Or is this too personal of a question?
